Answer #1

All the coins are fair.

Hence probability of occurring of tails for any coin

= 1/2

Probability of occurring of heads for any coin

= 1/2

Probability of occurring of tails for penny, heads for the nickel, heads for the dime, and heads for the quarter

= Probability of occurring of tails for penny

* probability of occurring of heads for nickel

* probability of occurring of heads for dime

* probability of occurring of heads for the quarter

= (1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2)

= 1/16 (or 0.0625)
